This is a discussion on Good: Pizza Delivery Man Shoots Robber UPDATE:Changed from Neutral to Good within the In the News: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly forums, part of the The Back Porch category; Wow! Two brilliant criminals...they order a pizza from their apartment, and then proceed to rob the delivery man (from their apartment)...
Note to criminals... ... ...

Any pizza delivery job where the employer does not allow an employee the ablity to protect himself should provide multi-million dollar life and disability insurance. The few crumby bucks that the company stands to loose is nothing conpared to what the employee has on the line.

Domino's and Papa John's both have "no weapons" policies as well. I have a friend that was fired from Domino's after a visiting district manager randomly searched his car. They found his hand ax and fired him over that, but didn't say anything about the box of shotgun shells or the empty Crown Royal bottle....

“We have policy against carrying weapons. We prohibit employees from carrying guns because we believe that that is the safest for everybody.”

When was the last time Vonnie Walbert delivered a pizza and was shown the wrong end of a gun? Arm-chair general. It's easy to make dangerous policy decisions for others when you're sitting in your safe office rather than working the streets.

Officers said Spiers told them “that he had a gun in each of his front coat pockets.”

+1 for being prepared.

The officer found a metallic gun from the left pocket of Spiers’ coat and a black handgun in the right hand pocket.

It's not enough to just gripe in the forum about it. Use this incident to educate Pizza Hut and encourage them to change their policies. Everytime we see one of these stories, we could take a minute or two out of our day and express ourselves to the company.

It may not be so much that Pizza Hut is anti-gun... They may just feel that *allowing* it is too controversial and see it as a "no brainer" policy (like most businesses with no-weapons policies). Let them know that their rule is controversial and that they have to put some thought behind their decision.

The facts are indisputable. There is more data supporting the benefits of Conceal Carry than there is supporting global warming. If you choose ignorance, in light of all the evidence, in order to bolster your irrational fear of guns, you are a greater threat to society than any gun owner.

“We have policy against carrying weapons. We prohibit employees from carrying guns because we believe that that is the safest for everybody."

What Vonnie means is that the "no guns" policy makes it safer for Pizza Hut's liability risk level. If they allowed their drivers to carry, then the company could be sued by anyone shot by one of their drivers. Why not have the policy and just not enforce it? Then, they lower their risk while still "allowing" (wink-wink) their drivers to defend themselves.

To voice your support of Mr. Spiers you can call the Pizza Hut Corporate office in Overland Park Kansas 913-327-5555 ext 9252 and direct the call to Vonnie Walburg who is the vice president of human resources.
